"Outside of obscure fighting game characters, Mexican professional wrestlers aren’t seen in videogames often. El Fuerte from the relatively recent Street Fighter IV tops the list along with King from Tekken as gaming’s most prominent luchadors, but DrinkBox Studios has set out to change gaming’s distinct lack of luchadors with their PlayStation 3 and Vita cross-by title, Guacamelee!
Despite obvious inspiration drawn from early Metroid and Castlevania games, it would be a mistake to assume Guacamelee! is merely a gorgeous Metroidvania clone. Sure, you’ll spend most of the game acquiring new techniques, like wall jumps and block-destroying body slams, to fully explore large labyrinths, but Guacamelee! has much more going for it than that. In fact, what Guacamelee! does best is take these Metroidvania concepts and wrap them in an original lucha libre coat of paint while still maintaining an identity of its own."

The PS4 has a killer roster of incredible platformers. Ranging from simple 2D platformers to vibrant 3D platforming games.
No mention of Astrobot on the VR, one of the best platform titles Sony have put out
Guacamelee is an amazing Metroidvania series with a fun story and beautiful graphics. Check out Jason's Nindie Spotlight on this gem that highlights its unique art style and fantastic boss fights..

Hollow Knight is really good. GreenPath was my favorite area of the game.
Guacamelee 1 was also good. I got to check out G2.
In my opinion Guacamelle 2 is even better than first..hopefully we will get third game
I highly recommend TimeSpinner. It's on everything now but I played and platinum'd it on PS4. Excellent classic style MV with a cool 'time' element and hidden secrets, bosses, multiple ending/outcomes, etc. 9/10 from me.
